his very short-lived series followed the Seated Liberty design of the era. Twenty Cent Pieces were struck from 1875 to 1878 with 1877 and 1878 being rare proof-only Twenty Cent Pieces. Philadelphia, Carson City and the San Francisco Mint all struck Twenty Cent Pieces.
The 1876-CC is the ‘key’ to a complete Twenty Cent Piece collection. 10,000 coins were struck but almost all were melted at the Carson City Mint. Today, a decent example of this rare Twenty Cent Piece easily fetches $100,000!
CAC. An incredible satiny white Gem with a sharp strike and beautiful surfaces that are free of any significant marks. A remarkably well preserved example of the only collectible Carson City Mint Twenty Cent Piece and a coin with tremendous eye appeal.
Reflective silver-gray surfaces display champagne-gold toning along the periphery on the obverse. The reverse exhibits the same toning mostly in the outer core with the addition of a touch of royal blue accent along the periphery. Light signs of circulation and abrasions are only minor. A proof-only date that saw a production of only 350 pieces.
